After spending time researching ideas for a collaboration project, our group decided upon a project that would incorporate the environment and relate to Earth Day.

I spent time researching ideas and finally decided to do a recycled art project with my third grade students. I have put together a slide show of Recycled Art images for inspiration, as well as located some videos to share with my students so that they will have a better understanding of the project.


Items to be gathered for the project:
Magazines Newspapers Sheets
Ribbon Old Towels Old T-shirts
FabricButtons Shoe Strings
Wrappers off Soda BottlesWrappers off vegetable cansString
Plastic shopping bags
